The recent press dispatches report

Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy, dur

the best Of his knowledge, it did not
fail in a single instance. The local
paper published there, said the same
and spoke Of it in the highest terms.
The Remedy was used in fully 800
cases, and not to fail in a single In
stance, is certainly remarkable,
when so many died who we're treat

Sam Jones ut ChautaIiuua.
Especial 10 the New York Her,

The lecture of Sam Jones on "Charac-
ter and Character" is going on, and as |
now write in hearing of much he says,
it is clear that he has his audience well
in hand and is playing upon the thou
sands who listen as the harper plays
upon the strings of his instrument. As
often, on an average, as once minute
there bursts forth tho most stormy ap.
plause. The man is at his best, and this
is with him field day. He has distin.
guished between character and reputa.
tion, character and orthodoxy, character
and professions and relations, and is
now picturing the relation Of character
to temperance, hgh-hcense, prohibition
and great many other interests OF
practical life. He is absolutely fearless
and really he loves shining mark. He
has no more love or reverence for lord.
and mobiles, judges and bishops, than foi
tramps, when discussing questions oi
right and wrong. He seems TO be oh
livious to every thing but one, and tc
concentrate himself into lightning boil
for the purpose of striking the one point
he wishes 10 hit hard. Correspondence,

Negroes and Sunstrokc.

The physicians of the Pennsylvania
hospital assert that they have no record
OF colored person suffering from sun
stroke being admitted to that institution.
This is a remarkable fact. 1t is enough
to make white folks envious in this sort
Of weather.
Most people would imagine that
colored people were far less apt to bc
overcome by the heat than their Cau-
casian brethren, but it is rather strange
to learn that, in hospital where scores
OF sunstroko cases are attended, not a
single case can be found of black man
sunstruck.
In the first surprise at this informa-
tion one might imagine that q good way
for people to avoid being overcome by
the torrid heat of summer would be to
make liberal applications of burnt cork
TO their skins, There is something 80
simple and easy in this suggestion that
II 1T were not for appearances, it might
be experimental with by the whole pop
ulation Of Philadelphia.
1t might if it were not for the fact that
the records of other cities, particularly
cities in the South, show that negroes
are sunstruck. This is rather bewilder-
ing 1t is, as one may say, dazing.
And the conclusion TO which it leads is
that Philadelphia darkies are peculiarly
particular in hot weather to avoid hard
work and keep out of the sun.--Phila-
delphia News.

Stalk and blades, after removing the
ears, as so much roughness, or "stover, -
iit only to be picked over by cattle, and
tho bulk of it trampled under foot into
the manure. With their rich meadows
and mowers they cannot afford the
tedious labors involved and meapre re-
turns from the practice of foddcr-pulliup
as followed by Southern farmers. ThnV
are right, and we arc wrong in this mai
ter. If only tho labor devoted to pull
ing and housing corn blades in the
South were employed in preparing
meadows and moving grass the result
would add millions of dollars to .nc
value OF our farm results. We would
then be encouraged to increase the arca
devoted to grass for moving to any de
sired extent until our barns would be
fillcd with plenty for horses, mules,
sneep and cattle, and the sorry spectacle
OF half-tamlshcd animals, shivcring il
the cold and rain, and moaning for their
stnted and often forgotten allowance of
shucks, would be bal,ishcd from amopr
us.
TO do this We are not dependent on
the doubtful success or the standard hav
grasses from abroad. We have our own
natiye-at least thoroughly nat,tralized
crab grass, crowfoot, bermuda, ana
several species Of paspalums; besides
several species of millct, Indian com,
clover, lucern, etc. Of course, if there
is no other resource for hay, and nothing
moro profitable for the hands to do, the
fodder should be pulled. a common
held hand, costing say fifty cents Il day,
can save one dollars worth Of fuddcr,
and possibly pot seriously injure The
corn-a very good operation. The plan
of cutting the stalks down will not
answer IN our climate, and without other
resource of better forage.

nEArtl or A TAMoIs UNION SPY.


rardaw Warsloy Who Followed M"sby
and Lee, is No More.
Pardaw Wnrslcy, the "Union spy OF
the Shenandoah, died at his home ut
Foster Brook, ~ Y, last week. aged
siXty-scvcm years Beginning life as n
fancy goods merchant in Massachusetts,,
at the opening Of the war he raised a
company OF the Fourteenth Massachu-
setts Heavy Artillery. He was soon
afterwards employed by Major General
Is. Il. Butler in the name of the United
States !" go into the British provinces to
look INTO the system OF blockade running
then In vogue. lie was successful in
this mission, for Major General G. c..
Augur, i'll his report OF August %, 1865,
says mat 1T was through the instrulncr-
tNhty OF Mr.. Warsley that the extensive
system OF blockade-running from Balti-
moro and Washington was broken up
Alter returning from this trip WarslGy
went out as spy upon Mosby under
Augur, though not until he had returned
to Boston and married Helen Isabelle
Francis, who survives INN.
Accompanied by his young wife,
Warslcy set out ostonsibly upon ped.
ding trip through Virginia. His real
object was soon suspected by Mosby,
and spy was placed upon his track
The spy was handsome young lady
who was to be conducted to WASHINGTON
by Warsley. The Union spy was too
smart to be caught, and, instead of
using his pass through the Union lines,
ho conducted the lady through swamps
and by.roads until she became disgusted
with the trip, and she returned to Mosby
convinced Of the loyalty OF Warsley.
Mosby was not convinced, and at one
time placed pistol TO Wnrsley's head,
threatening TO blow his brains out. The
young lady interceded and Warsley's
life was saved. Afterwards Mosby be-
came his firm friend, fighting u duel
with II nephew OF General Lee because
Lieutenant Lee had set guard upon
Warsley and had condemned him as a
spy, On two occasions Warsley furnish
ed information by which the Federel
forces were enabled to surround the
house in which Mosby was quartered,
but the dashing Rebel cut his way out
and escaped. On several occasions
Warsley got information of intended
raids upon Washington in time to allow
the authorities to mass their forces and
save the capital
AT the time of the assassination Of
President Lincoln Warsley was given
command of squad OF detectives.
When Booth was killed Warsley returned
to private life, and for years ran pork
